Wow...really sorry to hear this sad news and at such a relatively young age

I don't think there are any genuine football fans who couldn't help but admire Cyrille

He was one hell of a player who commanded admiration from everyone

RIP Big Fella

Aye and I bet not many of the guilty parties would have said a word to his face? They were different times Racism was rife on the terraces it`s not like that now and that`s largely thanks to the likes of Cyrille and the other black players who came through in the 70s and 80s our own Tony Ford being one they won over the fans and raised the bar.

Think he played up front with Dwight Yorke for Villa against town in the league cup 92 season ? Can anyone confirm ?


You might be getting mixed up with Dalian Atkinson  ( who also passed away too soon not that long ago )

My bad PSG & livosnose

I was thinking of the FA Cup game early in '94

But your link triggered my memory so looked up the second leg at Villa Park where we went through on away goals

Both Cyrille and Dalian ( and Dwight Yorke) played against us in that one

RIP Big Cyrille.

59 is no age.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Same age as myself grew up with Cyrille playing for West Brom big bustling centre forward always played with a big smile on his face.

Endured the monkey chants let his goals do the talking and they were normally spectacular.

Think he even earned a few England caps RIP one of football's pioneers.

A big, strong and talented centre forward but a bit of a gentle giant really. RIP Cyrille.
